I feel I gotta say something here after spending 16 hour days at work this week working on this problem. Its presence can cause more issues then things just slowing down. In many cases it causes your computer to reboot every few minutes.
The patch for this issue was not out for months. It came out on July 16th. And... as far as Windows 2000 is concerned the security patch was listed as requiring service pack 3 or later. This isn't about procrastination... how many people on this forum even know what a security patch is let alone a service pack. It's impossible and unfair to expect everyone to be computer geeks. The worst part is that there isn't a virus protection program out there that would have caught this when it started spreading. |
In reply to Message (5324.1) Situation is now less severe than thought...
By Walt - Sat 16/08/03 08:15:31 GMT At most, its presence should be noted by things moving a bit slower than normal.
IT folks have been blocking the listed ports and Microsoft has changed the URL of the site in question, so they report not much going on at all currently. The URL in the worm is only a redirector anyway according to Microsoft.
Windows 95/98 (98SE)/ME should not be affected. XP, 2000, and the newer ones should not be affected as long as the patch has been installed. BTW: The issue has been identified months ago, and the patch has been available for months!! Only the procrastinators need to be worried... |
